Refugee Camp

Looks interesting

Good green design and ideas by using recycled plastic. Portable and endless interchangeable module. Cool!

really cool stuff !!

As the designer of the project I appreciate the jurors' feedback and comments. However, the brief does not mention seeking mobility whatsoever. So it is a little upsetting to see that the jury voted down the project based on a criteria that wasn't actually mentioned in the brief. I had the impression that the purpose of an idea competition is to entertain alternative solutions and to encourage experimentation. To clarify the project creates a spatial narrative that is based on social flexibility and transiency, and a collaborative space by forming a Syrian refugee market place and rehab in Petite Ceinture. As architects and designers, I think it is important for us to engage with real social problems of the world rather than being stuck in our bubble merely conditioning the space or just decorating it. And it is important to note that the project does not really propose a solution but aims to engage with real urban issues.

The presentations and drawings are very appealing but we do not beleave that it complies with the requirements of mobility and flexibility that the brief looks for.

Not convinced that this solution responds to the brief

General Comments The competition poses a highly complex and difficult question. The restriction to use the bridge as project site narrows down the solutions to - in the best case- intelligent and technical design solutions. Because of that, many of the projects don’t reflect on the question of migration politics, social challenges, and the real problems beyond the architectural solution. To evaluate the projects, my priority was to look for a basic reflection on the migration situation and the related design challenge and a basic idea of the project related to this reflection. The further development of the project has to be coherent to this idea and the design outcome has to reflect somehow the values of the idea. The criteria of proper representation helps to understand the idea and the development. Not the best looking image is the winner, but the most coherent graphic language and argumentation line. The compliance of the room program, I don’t consider relevant in this stage of design, so all the projects have the same evaluation.

The proposal lacks contemporaneity. The presentation does not clearly state the ideas, leaving gaps when evaluating the project. At the program level it does not show how the areas are articulated in the complex.

It stands out for the balance of the components that make up the complex. It is a rational proposal that solidly meets the requirements of the contest. The contestant utilizes the various sectors available on the site, which is desirable. Likewise, the presentation stands out.
